2/1 GF
3rd hand could be light with lead,
light one level overcalls.
2 level entries could be light in competition.
New suits after overcall non forcing
especially red, 3 level preempts tend to be reasonably sound. After passed partner, could be more random.

4th best vs NT, might lead 2nd best from bad holding vs Notrump
If not attitude, 3rd/5th versus suits and notrump in mid play.
